Things to improve on: I would like to make more active use of ILT in a classroom setting.

David.  ]]> 2016-12-16 08:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/143995794 Things I've done well: Having learners take part in creative activities to engage them in their learning. https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/143997034
Things to Improve: Have learners use metacognition to help improve their learning--not just me prompting them to think. 

Courtney]]> 2016-12-16 08:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/143997034 Louise P and I have used Padlet for the Extended Reading essay this year, posting all power-points, images and resources for learners to easily access in a format they enjoy. Going forward, we would like to make it more interactive and get the learners adding to it also. sarah_acaster https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/143998113

]]> 2016-12-16 08:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/143998113 I have put all my lesson PowerPoints and resources for GCSE and FSENG onto Moodle for the students to access; along with extra useful video links and links to skill building websites/pages. https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/143999872
Things to improve upon: dealing with constant chatter and phones!]]> 2016-12-16 08:51:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/143999872 https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144000430 2016-12-16 08:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144000430 I have really thought about using innovation this term. Looking at more group work, peer assessment, getting students out of their seats. I have gained in confidence and really relaxed in the classroom. The students' comments from the review of term 1 have shown that they can enjoy themselves! https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144014670 I want to continue to improve my higher order questioning, using mind-set techniques, mindfulness and ILT!]]> 2016-12-16 10:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144014670 Curriculum links sarah_acaster https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144016920 I have maintained a good link with my curriculum area. To improve we could make the 'team times' I attend more meaningful.]]> 2016-12-16 10:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144016920 Risk Taking sarah_acaster https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144017378 We've been doing more active learning and want to continue and develop this.]]> 2016-12-16 10:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144017378 Sarah Beck sarah_lawn2 https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144026743 Interesting ideas shared today, definitely made me aware of approaching tasks differently.  Will try to incorporate more 'active' tasks in sessions.

Areas to improve:
Consider attentivenss and time scale of attention span when planning.

Try to think of alternative ways to deliver skills lessons -make them more 'wow' than 'what?'

Aeas to improve

My use of starters.
Being more confident that a noisy classroom is not a bad thing.]]> 2016-12-16 12:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144026895 UPDATE https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144027994 This is great, thank you. TLC team.]]> 2016-12-16 12:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144027994 Claire Slack claire_slack https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144046671 I have implemented VCOP in GCSE English really well so far and have used peer assessments to reinforce learning in F.S and GCSE.
I needed to embedd maths more in GCSE and have 'pinched' a game based on Scabble to do this - will be used after Christmas.
I have enjoyed my own development of creative writing which I have shared with students for examples and staff to inspire]]> 2016-12-16 14:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144046671 Differentiation https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144047024 What Went Well- Learning different strategies in order to accommodate different learners indivudal needs and transferring these strategies to scheme of work, lesson/support plans.

Even Better If- To maintain a collaborative apporach within the team to share resources and create an effective community of practice to develop teaching and learning.

I like the idea of using problem solving for students to collaborate and come up with ideas. I have tried learning centres and the students enjoyed it, so I'd like to find different ways to combine learning/literacy centres with problem solving and upcoming assessments.]]> 2016-12-16 14:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144050131 I intend to use the Click-View and Kaltura software to create and embed assessment questions into videos https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144069589
Further exploration and usage of Bloom's Qs will be undertaken in the New Year along with Kahoot and Padlet usage...

A very informative Inset Day...

Thank you to all deliverers.]]> 2016-12-16 15:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dcg/4mpdpy8r3gh5/wish/144069589
